1  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: World War III and BTC on: May 22, 2013, 11:28:27 AM
Countries don't start wars, bankers do. Remember, there is nothing more lucrative to a bank than a war. World War III will be started by bankers. The countries participating are just pieces on the board.

banks don't have standing armies. only governments have those. a government is like a giant robot death machine available for rent to the highest bidder. not so unexpectedly the highest bidder is often a banker. Eliminating banks wouldn't address this problem though. If you still have the robot death machine it will simply be piloted by the next highest bidder. The way to address this problem is not to persecute bankers, they would serve a useful function in a free society, but rather to not create the giant robot death machine to begin with.

Is it just my hair hurting, or does this thread make little/no sense without some more words somewhere?

OP posts "update" moments after posting the original, and someone else shouts "I knew this would happen", etc.

I would possibly be intrigued with a new currency if there were any (more maybe) real information presented about it here in the announcement, and the whole thread did not look like a bunch of kids got into daddies liquor cabinet and had a field day.

Generally an announcement has enough information to decide if the product, event, or service being announced meets the needs of the viewer of that announcement.

Instead we get:
"hey look at this neat new thing, it is cool, get some software here, and maybe you can figure out how to contact us on a hashtag at some weird address my browser does not understand"

"update"

"I knew this would happen because bter"

"virus warning"

"what did bter have to do with this" asked several ways, and unanswered by people who are equally unsure what is going on

...

Would OP care to shed some light on this adventure please?
Possibly explain why I need to go buy a new computer with Windows on it,
and/or learn how to use a git-thingie,
or will will this new thing even work without a computer, or with a Mac or Linux, or Atari computer,
or what an irc address is, because I know WWW is the internet, and anything else is bad, sometimes the internet gets grumpy when I forget the www,
or what a LiquidCoin with a cool logo actually is,
or why I want to speculate with it,
or even best of all saved for last of all, where can I go to get actual information regarding this cool thing with all the words many people reading this will not understand (though I do exaggerate this issue here for the sake of those who were not born with a computer in one hand and a smart-phone in the other), who can I contact, etc.

ETA:
And why when I go look at the github codebase, it has not been touched in a year, and appears to be abandoned alongside a stratum mining demo.

This is starting to smell a bit like Mr. Yorgason's halibut on the poop deck to me.

My unqualified, probably not fully educated (as I have only been about this a year or so) opinion:

The word "bank" in any connotation where "anonymous" and "not controlled by any government" are tossed about like candy at the Thanksgiving Parade is probably much more a liability than a help, even with TBoB's lengthy missives on that subject.

Next, it is entirely likely that what you are offering is pretty much the same as having a wallet somewhere for "instant access" (or as close as possible depending on the fees, etc.) and Armory software.

Next the convenience you offer between other "members" may be a bonus point.

I strongly suspect that only time will tell one way or the other, but for now I am a bit more skeptical than ready to jump on the bandwagon.

On this subject, mostly.

Is there a list somewhere of all/most coins, pools, etc.?

coinchoose.com looks like the best list of coins I have seen so far (been using it with bitcoin for some time).

I have selected litecoin as my 1st alternate, but my research was limited to recommendations in a couple IRC channels to this point.

I am requesting whitelisting because I came here to report issues with, and/or get help with CUDAminer and this seems like the place to do that.

While I understand what you are trying to do with your limits, it seems a bit silly to me to have developers (I see several just looking around for a few minutes) hosting their "forum" here and then forcing people (like me) to post silliness and banality just to be able to join in a discussion of a particular piece of software.

Perhaps a better idea would be to move all software specific threads to "newbies" so anyone can participate in the debugging, reporting of issues, etc. without feeling the need to fill the board with what is essentially spam by any other definition.

This is my first litecoin miner adventure, mostly because I have not made anything on bitcoin in ages with my ancient cpu+gpu hardware, and very limited budget.

Thank you for your kind regards.
